Greatest Hits is the fourth compilation album by American country music artist Barbara Mandrell. The album was produced by Tom Collins and released on MCA Records in March 1985. The album was her first compilation for MCA Records.
Greatest Hits consisted of 10 major hits Barbara Mandrell charted between 1978 and 1985, ranging from her second number 1 single in 1978, "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want to Be Right)", to 1984's "Happy Birthday Dear Heartache". It also included three additional number 1 singles by Mandrell: "Years", "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" and "One of a Kind Pair of Fools". Dan Cooper of Allmusic gave the album four out of five stars but criticized her musical style: "Hank Williams definitely didn't do it this way. Nevertheless, "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" summed up a lot of folks' feelings as the Travolta crowd tried to claim him as their own."[1] The album also included "There's No Love in Tennessee", a new song recorded specifically for this collection.
